Therapists Beginning With T in Nebraska

Welcome! Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a licensed independent mental health practitioner and have been working in the psychology field for approximately 16 years. In 2011, I founded Counseling Connections & Associates; a group practice offering mental health, substance abuse, and medication management services. I pride myself on being a passionate and energetic therapist focused on helping clients take steps towards making positive, long-lasting changes in their life. My goal is to assist clients in being able to live up to their fullest potential in a safe and therapeutic environment.

I am an LGBTQ+ therapist at A Better Way Therapy in Omaha, NE. I work with adults, adolescents, families, couples, and military personnel in my career, and I enjoy every minute of it. I love seeing the progress individuals and groups make throughout the therapeutic process, and seeing how strong people can be on a daily basis. I enjoy seeing my clients realize that they are in charge of their own lives and witnessing the confidence that builds within them. I am also working on completing my certification for Sex Therapy and am a member of AASECT.

Professionally, I'm interested in Autism Spectrum Disorder (Asperger's Disorder), Depression, Anxiety, Parenting Issues, Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI), co-occurring disorders (formerly called Dual Diagnosis Disorders), lifespan development/lifespan developmental psychopathology, and resiliency. I have been trained to work with clients across the age spectrum. I'm welcoming of clients of various backgrounds and beliefs.

I specialize in working with teenagers (high school age & up) & adults. My goal is to help those who come to me successfully navigate the life challenges we all deal with. Especially those challenges such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, sexual orientation & gender identity issues, and those in the first responder professions. Everyone deserves a safe space to talk and sort through life's struggles & experiences!

Are you looking for a space to put your "Super Hero Cape" down and just be your human self for a few minutes? Life has its normal ups and downs that can leave anyone feeling drained, overwhelmed, frustrated, and sometimes wondering what to do. I provide a safe and non judgmental space for the everyday person looking for realistic, down to earth, and usable skills to add to their toolkit and improve their daily life. These skills will offer a fresh perspective on how to manage behaviors, boost communication,  build self-esteem, repair marriages/relationships, improve mental and emotional health of individuals and families.

Life can sometimes be overwhelming and we don't always know where to go to for help. This is where counseling can help, help you to find focus, a new perspective, and learn more about yourself while learning coping skills to manage issues as they present themselves. My ideal client is someone who wants to reach the goals they have set for themselves, but just don't know how to go about reaching those goals. I believe that wellness can be achieved through traditional and holistic methods. Client issues can include grief, depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, time management, goal setting, among others.

I have a background working with individuals with depression, anxiety, trauma, and interpersonal issues. My passion is working with individuals who struggle with a variety of relational issues such as intimate partner violence, boundary issues, and communication skills. My goal as a mental health practitioner is to create a non-judgemental environment and to meet individuals where they are at in life.

If you waived a magic wand and everything was different what would your life be like? This is just one of the few questions I ask to explore your hopes and goals for therapy. I work with teen girls and women to craft a better life for themselves. Let’s explore your goals and the life you want to create.

Choose YOU! Whether you are a teen/ young adult finding your way in the world, a parent/adult feeling torn in a million directions, or just feeling lost right now. I am here to help you recognize your needs are important. YOU are important! With over 20 years experience as a mental health professional, I would be honored to walk alongside you and help you take charge of your own mental health. My own daughter is on the autism spectrum and has grown into a remarkable young woman. Nothing should stand in your way of getting the life you want! The one word that comes to mind when embarking on a counseling journey is ...Empowered!

Therapy is all about creating a warm and empathetic space where you can authentically explore your emotions and navigate life's challenges. I believe in the transformative power of genuine connection, and together, we'll navigate the complexities of your unique journey. Whether you're facing personal struggles, seeking to improve relationships, or simply looking for support, I'm here to offer guidance and understanding. My work is grounded in a deep sense of empathy, allowing you to embrace both your vulnerabilities and strengths. Let's collaborate on a path towards self-acceptance and resilience.

I feel every individual is unique; therefore every therapeutic relationship is unique. For therapy to be successful it is essential that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and understood. I respect the difficulty of undertaking the therapeutic journey, and therefore consider myself challenging yet empathetic. I consider myself and active therapist, yet the session is not about me...this is your time. I work with adolescents and adults on an individual basis. I also work with couples, families and groups.

I work with you to address concerns that are keeping you from fully embracing and enjoying life. Perhaps it is trauma, depression, difficult relationships or low self-esteem that are keeping you from living with the freedom you desire. Perhaps you are looking for a place where you can talk about your relationship with God or explore the things that give meaning to your life. Perhaps there are other concerns for which you are considering counseling. I welcome the opportunity to be a companion and guide with you on the journey to greater wholeness in living.

Seeking guidance for your life can be difficult, I understand how hard it can be to reach out for help. I believe that self-improvement and a life of joy and hope are possible for all people, no matter their struggles. I provide psychotherapy to help my clients identify problem areas in their lives that they want to overcome, set small goals to achieve their desired outcome, and help them make connections between how events in their past are driving their emotions, thoughts, and decisions today.

My goal is to help you discover how you can overcome your personal struggles and resolve the issues that are keeping you stuck so that you can live the life you envision for yourself. It's your time now! It's your time to live the life that you are destined to live. It would honor me to serve you now.

Are you an anxious, people-pleasing millennial looking to become your most authentic self? Do you struggle with self-esteem after experiencing trauma within relationships? Maybe you're navigating the process of breaking generational trauma cycles for yourself or your children. If you are looking for support in discovering your most authentic self through processing old traumas, increasing self-esteem, and building healthy relationships with yourself and others, you have come to the right place! Bonus if you enjoy pop-culture references, don't mind colorful language, and enjoy the use of humor in therapy!

Difficulties in life, environmental influences and other predisposing factors can contribute to unhealthy emotional states. They can leave us feeling depressed, overwhelmed, helpless and struggling to find positive solutions. If you are experiencing any of these feelings or are having problems in your relationships know that you are not alone and help is available.
